Dribbling Speedway

Our dribbling speedway had a lot of speed bumps and crazy drivers! If you hit a speed bump (cone) you needed to take your car to a pit stop. If your car stalled or you went off the road, a pit stop was in order. We had 5 different pit stops along the wall that the students would go to. When dribbling we need to focus on using our finger pads, keeping our eyes up (forward) and dribbling waist high.

Pit Stops:

Dribble in place 20 times

5 push-ups

10 sit-ups

Dribble with each hand 10 times

20 Jumping Jacks

Crunch time

Dribbling Unit

It is good to be back after that "polar vortex" of cold! We are starting our DRIBBLING unit and will go into next week with it just because of the missed days we have had. We will not be doing a Fitness Friday this week so we can play catch up. Yesterday the students were introduced to dribbling. We talked about using our finger pads when dribbling along with pushing the ball with our hand and arm and trying not to dribble higher than our waist! Needless to say they blew my expectations out of the water and did awesome. 

I'm going to have to challenge them more in the coming days :)

Anyone want some fruit salad?

We changed up our Fitness Friday this past week because of our short week but wanted to get our bodies moving and grooving so we played a game of Fruit Salad. Students were split up into their teams. 1 team would be guarding the fruit salad while the other teams were trying to steal their fruit! If you got tagged you needed to go back to your teams fruit bowl and high five your next team mate and they would try to grab the fruit. Very fun game for all and it worked on strategy as well!

Fitness Friday Brain Break

Hope everyone had a Happy Holidays and heres to the New Year!

Winter Wonderland

On Wednesday and Thursday the students were in a Winter Wonderland during Physical Education class. We had 6 different stations that were winter/holiday themed. The students enjoyed going through Candy Cane Lane and Ice Skating the best!
